Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Eye Contact Consult a physician.
Immediately rinse eyes thoroughly with running water as long as possible (approx. 15 min).
Take injured quickly to factory medical center or call an ambulance (code word: eye accident).
Skin Contact If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse contaminated skin immediately with plenty of water and
seek medical advice.
Inhalation Remove the victim from danger zone, avoid further exposure.
Consult a physician if irritating symptoms develop and persist.
Ingestion Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Call a physician. Obtain medical advice.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media Water spray or fog, foam, dry chemical powder, CO2, dry sand
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media High volume water jet
Protective equipment for firefighters Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and fire protective suite.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions Wear chemical resistant protective suite. Minimize number of personnel in risk area. Keep away unprotected persons. Wear chemical-proof clothes and masks while undressingcontaminated persons or cleaning contaminated equipment.
Environmental precautions Firefighting water may not spill into open rivers and ponds. Collect spilled material by all available means. Do not release into the environment.
Methods for cleaning Moisten spilled material with water (in order to avoid dust formation), cover with wet sand or wetted binder, then take up. Wash aw ay remains with plenty of water. Put into lead-sealable and labelled drums.
Handling and storage
Preventive Precautions (fire/explosion) Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Conditions of storage Protect against heat
